Explore Different Genres:

One of the joys of reading is exploring various genres. From gripping thrillers to thought-provoking literary fiction, each genre offers a unique experience. Expand your horizons by trying out different genres and discover new authors, styles, and themes. Whether you enjoy immersing yourself in historical fiction, losing yourself in fantasy realms, or exploring the depths of non-fiction, the best books to read are those that resonate with your interests.

Seek Recommendations:

A great way to discover hidden literary gems is by seeking recommendations. Reach out to friends, join book clubs, or explore online communities to connect with fellow book enthusiasts. Engage in conversations about favorite reads, seek suggestions, and broaden your literary repertoire. The best books often come with personal recommendations that can introduce you to incredible stories and authors you may have never encountered otherwise.

Explore Critically Acclaimed Books:

Critically acclaimed books often earn their reputation for a reason. These books, celebrated by literary critics and readers alike, have the power to captivate and inspire. Keep an eye on book awards, such as the Pulitzer Prize or Man Booker Prize, to discover highly regarded works.

Exploring these acclaimed books can lead you to exceptional storytelling, remarkable writing styles, and profound themes.

Follow Author’s Works:

When you stumble upon a book that resonates deeply with you, explore more works by the author. Many authors develop a signature style or explore similar themes across their body of work. By following an author’s works, you can immerse yourself in their unique storytelling and gain a deeper understanding of their perspective. It’s like embarking on a literary journey alongside the author, discovering the evolution of their writing and themes over time.

Trust Your Instincts:

In the pursuit of finding the best books to read, it’s essential to trust your instincts. Pay attention to your interests, preferences, and mood. Sometimes, the best book for you is the one that aligns with your current state of mind or offers a much-needed escape. Trusting your instincts allows you to select books that resonate with you on a personal level, creating a more immersive and fulfilling reading experience.

In the vast sea of literature, the best books to read are subjective and unique to each individual. By exploring different genres, seeking recommendations, exploring critically acclaimed works, following authors, and trusting your instincts, you can embark on a journey of literary discovery.

30 YEARS OF PUBLISHING IN INDIA

HarperCollins is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, having begun publishing in India in 1992. HarperCollins India publishes some of the finest writers from the Indian Subcontinent and around the world, publishing approximately 200 new books every year, with a print and digital catalogue of more than 2,000 titles across 10 imprints. Its authors have won almost every major literary award including the Man Booker Prize, JCB Prize, DSC Prize, New India Foundation Award, Atta Galatta Prize, Shakti Bhatt Prize, Gourmand Cookbook Award, Publishing Next Award, Tata Literature Live!

HarperCollins India also represents some of the finest publishers in the world including Harvard University Press, Gallup Press, Oneworld, Bonnier Zaffre, Usborne, Dover and Lonely Planet. HarperCollins India has won the Publisher of the Year Award four times at Tata Literature Live! in 2022, 2021, 2018 and 2016, and at Publishing Next in 2021 & 2015. HarperCollins India is a subsidiary of HarperCollins Publishers.

At HarperCollins, we believe in telling the best stories and in finding the widest possible readership for our books in every format possible. We started publishing 30 years ago in India and a great deal has changed since then, but what has remained constant is the passion with which our authors write their books, the love with which readers receive them, and the sheer joy and excitement that we as publishers feel in being a part of the publishing process.

Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of publishing some of the finest writing from the subcontinent and from around the world, and some of the biggest bestsellers in Indian publishing history. Our books and authors have won a phenomenal range of awards, and we ourselves have

been named Publisher of the Year several times. But nothing has meant more to us than the fact that millions of people read the books we publish, and somewhere, a book of ours might be making a difference to someone.

As we step into our fourth decade, we go back to that one word – a word which has been a driving force for us all these years.
